Reviews
"A powerful and timely exposure of the institutional violence suffered by migrant minors in federal custody who are being detained under two competing agendas-mandatory detention in custodial facilities and removal proceedings in immigration courts... Whose Child Am I? underscores the imperative of immigration reform for both practical and humanitarian reasons." New York Journal of Books "This volume is neither conservative nor liberal. It is a balanced presentation of the system, pro and con, for handling undocumented children who come to this country on their own or because they are brought here... Incredibly readable and insightful. An exceptional book that does real justice to an enormously important topic... Highly Recommended." -- K. E. Murphy, CHOICE connect
